Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. Councilmember's Present: Neuhauser, McDonald, Dickson, Balmer, Lynch, Perret. Absent: Erdahl. City Staf Present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Karr, Boothroy, Hencin, Milkman, Carroll. Tape Recorded: Reel 83-17, Side 2, #284 -end. Executive Session Moved by Perret, seconded by McDonald, to adjourn to executive session under Sec. 28A.56 Litigation to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of governmental body in that litigation. Council returned to open session. Central Jr. High Property A compromise proposal will be presented to the City Council and the School Board at the Special Informal Council Meeting June 14. Jansen, Berlin, Neuhauser, Cannon, Cronin, and Cruise worked together on the details of the compromise. Clear Creek Investment Company Proposal Berlin explained that the Clear Creek group wants to find out the City's Position on long range development of their west side property. Zoning, sewer details, and property access are details the Council expressed interest in. Berlin stated that the group is thinking of an Office Research Park and they are interested in general in the Council's plans for Iowa City's economic growth. Boothroy has had a preliminary look at their plans and feels that a new water main ($300,000) would have to be provided as well as a sewer line (;600,000) to the Hawkeye Lift Station. They will have a gravel frontage road along neiv Highway 218 which eventually would revert to the City. Neuhauser suggested state participation because of the contribution to the Hi -Tech Corridor concept. The impact on surrounding property must be considered. Berlin will reply to the Clear Creek group that the Council discussed this matter and staff is being asked to come up with preliminary cost estimates. McDonald noted that the commitment to spur economic growth requires spending money. Allocation of Jobs Bill Funds Balmer noted that the Emergency Shelter should be funded with the Nelson Center waiting full funding. Neuhauser said that Father Greiner and Jack Zerwas would head the group to select the Emergency Shelter site. Hencin said that the Hudson/Miller area should be considered for the remaining $15,000 of the Jobs Bill fund. That areawill be requested as a designated target area soon. CCN also has requests for sidewalks. Berlin suggested excess money from the paint program could be reallocated to rehabilitation. McDonald noted that University Hospitals creates some of the transient problem. Neuhauser pointed out that Iowa City is in a unique position among cities because of its high housing MICROFIEMED V +' !JORM MICROLAB f CEDAR RAPIDS -DES -MOINES r J K costs. McDonald suggested that maintenance would be a perpetual drain on City funds. Lynch replied that other places, such as the Spouse Abuse Shelter, do a good job of holding down costs. Dickson suggested that other community groups should be involved. Neuhauser added that less government involvement is better. Cheryl Mintle has done a study which outlines where City funded agencies can reduce costs by combining similar services. Berlin noted that the Ronald McDonald House should help and also very tight restrictions on use of a transient shelter will simplify administration and cut costs. The Council thanked CCN and staff for their fine job. Affirmative Action Task Force Report Anne Carroll summarized the history of the task force. In response to a question from Balmer, Carroll said that the Affirmative Action Task Force's position has been to incorporate women into non-traditional roles including police, fire, maintenance, and streets. She explained that the jobs traditionally held by women, such as library jobs, haven't had many male applicants. Balmer noted a feeling by many that the Finance Department is a tight knit group and perhaps diversity would make it a better department. Berlin said that there have been some very open discussions with the Finance Department on exactly that issue. Carroll added that again, few male applicants are available for consideration. Neuhauser asked about women applicants for Fire Department openings. Carroll said that minority representation among applicants for the last open firefighter position was about 10% and there are two minority members on the civil service list. The Civil Service procedures for both fire and police are very tight and it is difficult to get any movement outside those procedures. Veteran's preference and physical ability are particular stumbling blocks. A veteran has absolute preference if s/he makes the qualified list. The average female must be more physically fit than the average male to pass the physical ability tests. The 10% minority applications can be compared to the Z% minority county applicants. Iowa City leads the state in female and minority representation in the Police Department. Dickson asked about handicapped. Neuhauser said that it is difficult for the physically handicapped to be employed in the Civic Center because of architectural barriers. Tree Maintenance and Removal Berlin pointed out that Councilmembers have drafts of the policy and revisions will be forthcoming for discussion next week. Lynch noted problems with the 50% dead restriction. The forester has reviewed the policy and will accept the policy but would prefer to rely on personal judgment. Lynch had a problem with the absolute language of the policy which will be considered as a revision. The adoption of the policy will allow the forester to submit a budget and establish priorities. June 14 Meeting Tomorrow night's meeting will cover Central Junior High and zoning priorities.

Central Jr. High Property Mayor Neuhauser said that the school board was meeting now to also discuss the proposal. An outline of the proposal was handed out. Mayor Neuhauser read the proposal as follows: It was agreed that the following proposal would be taken before the City Council and the School Board for each bodies' consideration: I. The City would deed its interest in the property to the District immediately with the deed being placed in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement. 2. The escrow agreement would provide: (a) The City would be entitled to a cash payment when, and if, the School District sells the property. The amount of the cash Payment would be $50,000 if the sale was made in such a manner that a public purpose was served e.g. Mercy Hospital buying the property and providing parking. If the sale did not somehow fulfill a public purpose, the School District would pay 10% of the proceeds to the city. (b) Until such time that the property was sold, the School District would be able to use it for any Purpose -subject only to laws and regulations that normally apply to the district. 3. The above would represent a complete settlement between the parties concerning their respective rights and interests. City and District staff would be directed to draft the required deed and escrow agreement to implement the agreement. Jansen explained that the $50,000 offer was not adequate standing alone. The City would be relieved of its financial obligation if the $50,000 offer was coupled with an assurance that the sale of the property would serve a public purpose, e.g. Mercy Hospital buying the property and providing parking. If the school district doesn't sell the property to fulfill a public purpose, they would pay the Compensa ion test.

DES MOINES r 1 JJ 0 0 party until the proposed conditions were met. Erdahl asked about the length of the agreement and about the use of the land after a given period of time. Jansen suggested 2-5 years for the length of the agreement, then being able to sell the property, or use for some other use within the zoning requirement. Neuhauser raised the concern of tax exempt property being used for a private purpose. Neuhauser explained that the school board could sell the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids. Jansen said also that a potential bidder for the property would be prudent to inquire at the City if their proposed use of the land would be a public purpose. Jansen explained that the activities of a private non-profit corporation, in and of itself, are not a public purpose but does serve the public. The escrow agreement will have to include a method of determination of public purpose. Councilmembers generally agreed with the proposal. Lynch said that the City's money from the sale of the property should be earmarked. Neuhauser said it would be appropriate to commit the money to park purposes. Jansen stated that the school board asked for the option of being able to rent the property to other sources while the property is pending sale. He recommended that if the property were leased, the City should consider stipulating a time limitation on the lease. Erdahl suggested a one year lease with a renewable option for one year, with minimal improvements on the land. Neuhauser suggested that any extension of the lease would be with the authorization of the Council. New Zoninq Ordinance Neuhauser recommended addressing major issues of the new zoning ordinance immediately. She recommended that the Council consider those major issues as amendments to the present ordinance now. Neuhauser stated tht these recommendations weren't the result of the meeting with the developers and that there still are many reasons to have a new zoning ordinance. Erdahl urged that t the Council deal with the important issues now, such as the zero lot line ordinance, and then continue to work on the new zoning ordinance in a phased -in manner over a year. John Seward introduced the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission: Tom Scott, Jane Jakobson, Larry Baker and Jackie Blank. He stated that a cutin concern is that the process of finalizing and adopting the new zoning ordinance not be slowed down so as to lose the motivation and emphasis of the ordinance. The P&Z Commission has asked the Council to formalize its position an the new ordinance. Seward explained the specific issues raised at the public hearing have been handled with the exception of the philosophical issues, such as with the University fraternities and sororities. Lynch noted that it was not the intention of the Council to work with the new zoning ordinance in a piece meal fashion, but items such as the single-family zone need to be determined soon. Tom Scott stated that he has concerns with working on specific issues of the ordinance, forming a subcommittee and rescheduling the finalizing of the ordinance away from the election date. He was unsatisfied with delaying the ordinance for another year. Neuhauser said that the ordinance would not be delayed unreasonably with the exception of the expansion of the commercial zone to allow light industry and prohibit shopping centers. The subcommittee would facilitate keeping the ordinance on schedule. Schmeiser explained that the CI -1 zone has been worked on. T. Scott emphasized that if the Council addresses the major issues now, they would diminish the political viability of passing the t; MICROFILMED BY Of' 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401NES K ordinance. Balmer disagreed and stated that contractors have supported the ordinance by show of their presence in meetings. T. Scott also stated that P&Z Commission members are concerned that Councilmembers no longer consider the new zoning ordinance a high priority. Neuhauser stated that it still is a priority but major issues need to be acted upon now. T. Scott said that P&Z could have the ordinance to the Council within two weeks of the August 18 date. Neuhauser said that she is concerned with holding public hearings in August when many people are out of town. Erdahl noted a concern about voting on zoning ordinance when a majority of the Councilmembers may not be on the Council next year. Jane Jakobsen urged the Council to act on the complete ordinance and not just portions of the new ordinance. Larry Baker shared his frustration that the time spent by P&Z on the zoning ordinance would be wasted if the ordinance is not acted upon by the Council. Lynch said that he would be willing to wait eight weeks to see the final draft of the ordinance, although there are major issues that need action. Erdahl explained that the subcommittee concept has helped the Council to become more informed and responsive. Also, he would like the P&Z Commission to keep the Council informed about the ordinance's progress and schedule. Balmer stated that if the Council looks at zero lot line, the Council needs to direct the staff to follow the time period laid out by Schmeiser. Schmeiser said that the Council has reviewed the RIC zone and chosen to defer action then. Neuhasuer said that Council has been looking at the Coralville zero lot line ordinance with the addition of the two hour fire wall and separate utilities. Neuhauser stated that the major issues need to be dealt with now. Erdahl suggested that everyone agree on the two or three items that could be finished by Labor Day. Seward agreed that there is an obligation to resolve the issues that are deemed necessary. Councilmembers reviewed the issues listed on the June 3 memo from Mary Neuhauser. Councilmembers agreed that the zero lot line ordinance be given high priority; the CI -1 could wait; ,the limiting single- family zone be reviewed by the Housing Department with regards to the definition of family; and the rest of the items on the list could wait eight weeks. In answer to a question from Balmer, Jansen said that the current moratorium would have to be amended because the enacting of a comprehensive ordinance is not an amendment and does not trigger a moratorium. Berlin noted that P&Z and the Council should agree .on how PAD'S and OPDH's will be approached in the new ordinance. Seward said the the OPOH hasn't been considered by P&Z and probably wouldn't have a firm proposal by the Labor Day deadline. Perret questioned staff plans for the tree ordinance. Balmer commented that not all items will be completed by Labor Day.

The street is substandard but unless it is dedicated as a street it would not have to be brought UP -to standard. Rollins Vcres, Approving the preliminary and final subdivision plat. The agreement should be finalized before the final vote at the formal Council meeting. The heirs to the property have asked that it besubdivided. Windsor Heights 6th Addition, Approving the preliminary and final subdivision. Staff recommends against approval because of inadequate sewer capacity while the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval. The Commission has a policy to allow subdivisions such as this based on the platting history of the property. Franklin explained that the City has made certain commitments to allow plans that preceded the 1979 study that made the sewer capacity problem clear. Dell Richard, attorney for the developer, explained the developer's Position and asked for a consensus from the Council on the issue of the approval. Neuhauser suggested that since two Councilmembers weren't present, Mr. Richard should be present at the formal meeting. Development Policy for East and Northeast Iowa Cit Franklin showed what areas would be affected by the proposed policy. Areas that have prior platting are exempted. The Council referred to the map to be sure what areas would be affected. Areas available for development were also shown on the map. Franklin explained that what the resolution actually does is serve review as guidelines for the Council and perspective developers. There is an annual express edoconcernnthat developerscasewer capacity wouldsprawl intoworse the8almer countythe and if Neuhauser City cannot provide developable land. Bruce Glasgow suggested that the City allow construction as per county regulations and rural standards. Neuhauser said that it would be very expensive to require city standards for the one acre -one house lot. Berlin emphasized the need to resolve the sewer problems. �•i MICROFILMED BY +i '.JORM MICROLAB f CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION JUNE 20, 1983 PAGE 2 624 S. Gilbert Street, C2 to R3A. First consideration. Max Selzer is no longer going to purchase the property. Jim Clark has made a purchase offer. If the property were rezoned he would agree to provide an aeration system in the basement of the apartments upon development of the property. McDonald expressed a concern about rezoning the land without a guarantee that the development site will be made safe. Franklin said that the legal staff is researching an agreement that would be approved along with the rezoning. Jansen explained that the agreement would need to be independent of the rezoning. Neuhauser asked if there was any way of holding the City harmless. Jansen that a blank harmless agreement would be appropriate. Perret suggested that an independent verification about the safety of the soil be required. Jansen explained that the developer should be responsible for that verification. Franklin suggested that the agreement include a required review by the DEQ. Berlin explained that the PTI would test for the percentage of petroleum in the soil and review the developer's construction plans. Councilmembers agreed to defer rezoning. Berlin will meet with Jim Clark. Rezonina of property north of Rochester and east of First Avenue, R1A to RIB. There was no discussion. Rezoning a portion of First and Rochester Addition, RIA to R3. There was no discussion. Rezoning 510 S. Clinton, R3B to CBS. There was no discussion. Wheaton'Road Residents requested a public hearing on rezoning of a property on the east side of Wheaton Road from R3 to RIB. A resident requested that the Council hold a special meeting on Monday, June 27, at 7:30. Jansen assured Councilmembers that certified letters could be mailed out by next week. Property across the street from 624 S. Gilbert Perret asked what the status of the application for rezoning was. Planning and Zoning has considered and deferred it. The applicant has waived the 45 -day limitation period. The Commission discussed R3B zoning. They did not want CBS zoning for that area. The applicant would like a mixed use zoning. Franklin said that CBS zoning would allow a hundred units to be built. Melrose Median Neuhauser inquired about the letter to Frank Farmer from Project GREEN about the development on Melrose and Mormon Trek. The median in that area would be opened and all of the plantings would be removed. Berlin said that Public Works approved the construction plans which allowed for the work to be done. Franklin explained that the meeting cut is shown on the PAD plan. The legal staff will review the policy that allows City staff to approve construction projects. Private signs on public right-of-way Jansen explained that if the Council permits Michael Waltz's (Speak Easy) restaurant sign to remain, the City zoning ordinance will have to be amended to permit off -premises signs on public property. Councilmembers discussed alternative locations for placement of the sign. M. Waltz explained that the sign is located 4'2" from private property and it would cost about $4,000 to y: K I I MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB fi CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION JUNE 20, 1983 PAGE 3 move and rewire the pole. He explained that moving the sign would block the view of it from Dodge Street. The Council requested City staff to determine the number of noncomforming signs that exist in Iowa City. A decision would be made at next Monday's informal meeting. Wastewater Pollution Control Plant Study Berlin explained that during the development of plans for the wastewater treatment, there have been changes in standards and new processes developed. The Sewer Study committee has approved a phase program and are trying to determine the most cost effective process that the City can use in the wastewater treatment plant. The Committee and Jim Kimm are looking at the existing site, a new site, and using a trickling filter system with new filters and clarifiers. Berlin explained that the first stage would offer some solution to the southeast interceptor sewer and some construction at a new site of an interim process. The new construction could be utilized in subsequent stages. The Sewer Study Committee, including Richard Dague, is looking at long-term alternative processes, how the City can make the transition to a new process, and how long the City can stay on the present site. Berlin said that Mr. Dague has agreed to work on an on-call basis with the City to consult with staff and Jim Kimm. Tree Maintenance Policy Dickson expressed discomfort with the way priorities are set up in the proposed tree policy. She doesn't feel that the lower priorities are justified. Perret explained that the priorities are based on actual needs where trees have been removed from older sections of the city. The older part of the town is in the CBOG funded areas. Berlin stressed that the tree policy should be a long-term plan. Lynch suggested that the new City Tree Specialist develop a detailed plan for tree plans. He also said that the key could be provided by the City for planting by citizens. Neuhauser suggested the possiblity that the City could maintain its own nursery although expense could be high. Berlin said that staff could make recommendations to Council on a long-term reforestation plan and a specific budget for reforestation each year would take into account long-term needs as well as areas with specific needs. Past policy has varied on whether the City purchase trees for private planting. The tree trimming policy is not recommended by the City Forester but he can live with it. The Forester would take a much more liberal view about tree removal and trimming and would prefer to be allowed to make his own decisions. Berlin said that the City's response to a property owner's request for tree removal depends upon the nature of the problem. Neuhauser pointed out the city council in Sheridan, Iowa, decided to remove all trees on parking because of blocked sewers. Balmer mentioned that Burlington Street between Summit and Governor is in need of trees. Lynch said that a well -coordinated program could make better use of City money by utilizing volunteers and organizing efforts. Neuhauser said that the Council will wait for the input from Perret on tree planting but go ahead with other aspects of the tree policy including removal of trees which the Forester determines to be in "imminent peril." Appointment to the Board of Library Trustees and UAY Berlin pointed out Richard Pegnetter works with the City in mediation and arbitration. Since he would represent a bargaining group by being on the Library Board it may be inappropriate to appoint him to the Board in spite of his qualifications. Berlin will report back to Council after discussion with Mr. Regnetter. Council agreed to appoint Charles Drum and Nancy Willis to the two Library Board vacancies and postpone appointment to the third vacancy. 1 (; MICROFILMED BY ',JORM MICRO_ LAB y CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES J J r INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION JUNE 20, 1983 PAGE 4 There were no applications to UAY. Agenda 1. Balmer asked about the letters from the auditor asking about the County Compensation Board. Neuhauser explained that cities are asked to serve on county compensation boards. The City dislikes serving on the board because it involves collective bargaining and setting county employee salaries at the time when they were negotiating with City employee salaries. Consensus was that the Mayor should attend. 2. Neuhauser said that if a Councilmember serves as a representative on a board of an organization that is seeking funding from the City (such as HACAP) they should be a non-voting member. 3. Council discussed the letter from Della Grizel about the congregate meal program. Neuhauser has been in contact with Della Grizel. Berlin explained that the Senior Center does have sufficient sign -in procedures for the program and that the City Attorney has written an opinion about GrizellIs concerns. 4. Balmer inquired about an update on the FAA situation. Berlin said that the chairman of the Airport Commission and Mr. Jansen are preparing a letter to send to the FAA detailing the City's position on the airport and what has been done. Council raised concerns about who is actually accountable to the City for prompt attention to the FAA problems. Lynch suggested that the Airport Commission chair, Airport Manager and City Attorney Jansen attend next Monday's informal meeting. Neuhauser will write a letter to the Airport Commission stating that the Council wants a progress report and would like to meet with them on Monday. 5. Neuhauser inquired about the Human Rights Ordinance. Helling said he spoke with the City Attorney about the procedures. He is still working on it and realizes it is a high priority. 6.
